Dr. Christopher Prince has been a practicing physician for 33 years, and as he puts it, “…I’ve never seen anyone come in with a pure problem from a marijuana overdose,…, I’ve worked in the ER enough, I’ve seen [more] people who need liver transplants from Tylenol overdose.”

While Dr. Prince admits that the efficacy of cannabis sativa and its derivatives in inhibiting pain is still word of mouth for the most part, he has seen his patients experience positive effects, and that’s food for thought for anyone who wants to avoid relying on opioids to quell their sore muscles or sprains.
